Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Flag of Guna Yala, Panama. The swastika-based design was adopted by the Guna in 1925. Some variations on this flag have been used, with red top and bottom bands, or with a red ring hung around the base of the top arm of the swastika; the latter was added in 1942 to "de-Nazify" the flag.
Español: Bandera del grupo étnico de la comarca de Guna Yala, de Panamá, confeccionada por Waga Ebinkili (María Colman), a raiz de la Revolución Guna (1925). El símbolo similar a una esvástica, representa, en la cosmogonía Kuna Yala, la figura de un pulpo, creador del mundo.

Non Nazi swastikas Legal disclaimer
This image of a swastika resembles the swastika that was used by the National Socialist (NSDAP/Nazi) government of Germany or an organization closely associated to it, or another party which has been banned by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.

The use of insignia similar to organizations that have been banned in Germany may also be illegal in Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Israel, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and other countries, depending on context. In Germany, the applicable law is paragraph 86a of the criminal code (StGB), in Poland – Art. 256 of the criminal code (Dz.U. 1997 nr 88 poz. 553). This ban, however, does not apply to swastikas that are of a religious nature, including ones used by Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
